JOHOR BAHRU: Police here are seeking help to locate a 16-year-old girl who was reported missing from her home in the Temenggong Seri Maharaja Tun Ibrahim Hospital quarters in Kulai since March 5.
Kulai district police chief Supt Tan Seng Lee said Nurul Aina Najwa Abdul Fattah was last seen by her father and stepmother, who are in their 30s, at their home, around 12.30 am on March 5 before being noticed missing at 6am.
A police report was lodged at 7pm the same day.
He said that the plump, fair-skinned and bespectacled teenager was a student at a madrasah in Saleng, here, while her father was an ambulance driver and her stepmother a tuition teacher.

However, he said that Nurul Aina Najwa’s parents could not confirm what she was wearing at the time she went missing.
He urged anyone with information to contact the Kulai police station at 07-663 2222 or investigating officer Inspector Teo Feng Shun at 018-377 4339. - Bernama
